Lens / Thalassophobia

Rising talent J Ribbon releases 'Lens / Thalassophobia’ on Anjunabeats.

Progressive house producer Johnny Paul Newman signed to Pete Tong’s renowned label FFRR Records when he was just 15. Now releasing under his new alias J Ribbon, the 20-year old is already making waves in the Ibiza club circuit as a Hï Ibiza resident DJ. Johnny is also one half of dance duo Rathbone Place, whose 2021 single 'Be Free' saw support from Mark Knight, Jax Jones, Sigala, Bakermat and Martin Garrix, as well as BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, Danny Howard, Annie Mac, Arielle Free and more.

J Ribbon recently made his Anjunabeats debut with 'My Habitat' as part of our Rising EP series, which saw spins from Adriatique, KREAM, Sam Divine, Don Diablo, Einmusik, Paco Osuna and beyond.

He followed that up with his thumping double-A side 'Palm / 808s', which earned support from the likes of Sander van Doorn, Marsh, Will Sea, Fatum and BOg. The emerging talent rounded off this summer with a show at Ushuaïa opening for Armin van Buuren and D.O.D, followed by a show at Ministry Of Sound last month.

Now, J Ribbon drops his progressive floorfiller ‘Lens / Thalassophobia’. Road-tested extensively by Above & Beyond at multiple shows worldwide, including their Group Therapy 600 Deep Warm Up Set in Mexico City, the single has also seen early support from Sebastian Ingrosso, Salvatore Ganacci, Kevin de Vries, Guy Mantzur, Argy and more.

Don't miss J Ribbon perform alongside Amber Stomp, maybe, and Station To Station this Friday at Lost In Light Lates: Anjunabeats Rising - a celebration of the label set within an immersive light exhibition in Shoreditch. Tickets on sale now: anjunabeats.com/gb/events/rising-shoreditch
